History

Description:

Fall 2008:Women at Westbrook College: In its 175 year history, the Westbrook College Campus has educated numerous generations of young women. In this class, we will explore American women's history by studying the women who attended Westbrook College from its seminary days in the 1830s to its reinvention as a junior college in the early twentieth century. Using archival materials such as letters, diaries and scrapbooks in the College Archives and writings from the Maine Women Writers Collection, students will examine the curriculum, the social life and what career options existed -- and didn't -- for young women attending what is now UNE one hundred and more years ago. Women in the Environment: This course is designed to take an in-depth look at the relationship between women and the environment. We will explore several themes, including how women relate to the natural world, the impact of various forces on women and the environment. Topics will be studied from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
